#12 is a given in our house. If we've got plane tickets, someone will be sick the week we leave, with the distinct possibility of being too sick to be let on a plane, ensuring full panic mode for days. I shudder just thinking about it.

I've only given birth to one child and I'd much rather go through potty training him again than go through childbirth again. I still remember being told while I was being stitched up afterwards that next time I might need a C-section. I still cringe thinking about it. I gather you must have had horrendous experiences with potty training!

I am procrastinating with potty training my 2 yo, she has no interest and I have no interest in the mess.

I really can relate to #11. I was lucky enough to find an orange crayon in my wash a few weeks ago. Luckily, sort of, it was when I washed my sheets. I got a nice orange splotch on the corner which I can luckily hide. I initially blamed my 6 yo - "Did you put a crayon in washing machine?". "No!" She exclaimed. Then my 2 yo piped up proudly "I did it!!".

What lovely words of wisdom. The check pockets suggestion reminds me of a Thanksgiving meal we had in a restaurant in Massachusetts. I forgot we colored on the tablecloth before the meal and ended up washing and drying the crayons in some once very beautiful pockets!

I am petrified to potty train my little man ... who will be 3 in February. He is showing no signs of wanting to learn, he has yet to even use the toilet successfully. I am not willing to fight this battle until he is ready :) !!
